Yesterday I found out that this guy who went to my school died a week or two ago. Actually, I heard about it last week, but I didn't hear the details. His name was Charles Geo and I didn't know him, but I know people who did, and it's still incredibly sad. He was a freshman last year, so he's a year below me. He was exercising or working out or something like that I guess, and a blood vessel in his head burst. How random is that? I mean, I would expect something like a car crash or... I don't know. But a blood vessel bursting in his head? geez. I feel horrible for his family and anyone who knew him. :(


I love this episode times infinity. I was spoiled for it and knew what was coming, but it was still fucking amazing. I love this as much as 122 and 308, which is saying something. guh.

Melanie/Lindsay: Can we be done with this? I like Corinne, but... I just want this storyline to be over. The scene post-explosion was very sweet, though. I'm hoping that means they're going to work things out.

Emmett/Drew: Poor, poor Drew, and poor, poor Emmett. Drew was being an ass when they were talking before the explosion, but I can understand it. Drew is so lucky to have someone like Emmett there for him, though. But they were too adorable when Drew came to find Emmett at Babylon. sigh. I'm spoiled for all the stuff relating to Brian and Justin for the rest of the season but no one else, so I don't know if Emmett/Drew will last, but I'm hoping they will.

Ted: I haven't always loved him (I don't now, either. I don't dislike him, but I don't love him. I'm kind of indifferent to him), but I do hope he finds a husband, or at least someone to settle down with. He's had a lot of crappy stuff happen the past few years, so I think he deserves it. Also, OMG MICHAEL/TED INTERACTION! TED/EMMETT INTERACTION! I love the Brian/Ted friendship, but Ted hasn't been interacting with anyone else, and that makes me sad, since he used to be such good friends with Michael and Emmett. He's had some scenes with Emmett, but very, very few with Michael. It made me happy seeing them actually talk and everything. ...though... they didn't really talk that much. BUT THEY WERE IN THE SAME SCENE TOGETHER!

Michael: What I wrote down when Ben and Michael were discussing where to have the Benefit: "GET. OVER. IT. The Benefit > your issues with Brian. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE ALREADY FUCKING APOLOGIZED. GEEZ." And then he finally does go ask Brian, and MY GOD WATCH BRIAN RISE ABOVE THEIR ISSUES WHEN MICHAEL CAN'T. I mean, Brian tries to make things right and Michael totally shoots him down and crushes his heart. Yet, Michael goes to ask Brian for something, and Brian gives it to him without even having to think about it, AND doesn't charge him ANYTHING when the other place was charging $10000. My GOD. I totally love Brian. Also, I used to really love Michael (he was my favorite character at the start of the series, and I even shipped Brian/Michael over Brian/Justin for about half of the first season), but he's been a total ass this season.

Brian/Justin: First of all, they played "Lover I Don't Have to Love"! My favorite Bright Eyes song! wheeee! :DDD I guess I'll go in order of all the stuff. First, seeing Justin at the club all alone when everyone else had someone else: awwwww. When he was watching his mom kiss Tucker (who is still very hot. That needed to be mentioned, for some reason.), I was struck by how lonely he looked, and it made me think that part of his dislike of Tucker might not even be because Tucker's younger than Jennifer, but because he's jealous that his mom has found someone and it's serious, and he and the man he loved just ended their relationship. I mean, I think it's mostly due to Tucker being younger than his mom in addition to it being weird seeing his mom with someone who's not his dad (even if he hates his dad and doesn't want his mom to have to be with someone like him, that doesn't mean that it'll feel normal to see her dating), but I think a part of it could also be jealousy. Anyways. When the explosion happened, with the flash? I totally got chills. And continued to get them with Brian in the car on the way to the airport and with all the ambulances and with Brian frantically searching for Justin and everything. I loved how the second Brian heard about the explosion, he said "Turn around." I knew he would, that's not surprising or anything, but... I still loved it. No hesitation. And later how we find that all he was thinking about was making sure Justin wasn't hurt makes me love it even more. His alarm when arriving at Babylon and trying to find Justin was so... guh. Poor Brian. And their instantaneous hug made my heart leap.

Some Brian stuff that isn't Brian/Justin: Yay for Brian's clean bill of health! Also, I loved his "Doesn't anyone like to fuck anymore?" and in response to not being able to see the guys' dicks on the site Ted was on, "How do you know if they're quality men?" lines. I love Brian putting a hand on Ben's shoulder in the hospital, comforting him. So sweet. And Debbie and Brian at the church was really sweet and sad.

Back to Brian and Justin. And, like, the main thing that makes me adore this episode. Brian talking about how scared he was and how all he could think about was "Don't let anything happen to [Justin]"=awwwwwww. And I loved, once again, instantaneous hugs: the second Brian finds Justin outside, they hug. And. Then. Of course. "I love you." Justin's ear. Justin's gasp. Pulling apart. "I love you." Justin's expression. Kissing. Hugging. SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I've been spoiled for this for months, but oh my god I loved it. And when I first heard "Brian will tell Justin he loves him this season" it seemed like it wouldn't work, I couldn't buy it happening, but... it totally worked. Totally and completely. EEEE BRIAN TOLD JUSTIN HE LOVES HIM TWICE AND THEY KISSED AND THEY'RE SO BACK TOGETHER AND I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!! :DDDDD

Yeah. I've watched the end of that episode about 5 times now. [sigh] I can't wait until next week. Especially since I know what's coming. I can, however, wait for the finale (513? I believe?) both because... well, I know what's coming, but also, IT'S THE END! I don't want it to end. :( sigh. Three episodes left. Insanity. And to think I've only been watching this show since, like, May. Actually, the screeners for 511 are out, so I could easily download the torrent. And I've been so against that in the past since I wanted to drag the season out as long as I can but... I think I'm going to break down and download 511 now. I'm desperate to see this episode.

Anyways, I got my camera back from Andrew's house on the way to my tenor lesson, so


From left to right, Justin, Mike Tseng, Andrew, and Emma. They were playing DDR, and it was one of the really tough songs, so they had it so Justin would have like... up arrow and right arrow, and Mike Tseng would have down arrow and left arrow. Same for Andrew and Emma. It was really amusing while we were there, but I suppose it doesn't look like much in the picture.


Michele Wong, preparing to bowl. It was really amusing, because the very first time she went up to bowl, she went into this position and it looked like she knew what she was doing and then... gutterball. And the same for her second roll. It was pretty funny. Not that I'm making fun of her; we played two games, and she did better than me both times. It still was amusing, though.


Hee. Most awesome thing ever. We were lane 14, on the right of the pink ball. It was Andrew's turn and Mike Tseng (and maybe Justin too) told him to do it like... shot put, I think is what was said. So he launched the ball forward, except it didn't go down the lane, it landed right where you see it in the picture; in between the side and the bumper of the lane next to us. It was hilarious.


Emma bowling! ...I felt like I should have at least one picture of everyone who was bowling.


Justin, bowling between the legs. Also, the back of Andrew's head.


Justin. Hee.


Andrew. I include this solely because I love how you can see that the ball is not rolling down the lane, but actually has bounced off it.


Another crazy shot from Andrew.


Justin, bowling backwards.


Justin, bowling into the lane to the left of us. oops. Hee. The people bowling in lane 14 must have hated us.


Mike Tseng, bowling backwards. Another ball flying through the air instead of rolling down the lane.


Emma, rolling the ball backwards through her legs.


Lastly, Andrew while we were playing Cranium.



I have an essay for SAT class I really need to write. sigh. And plus, I have a critical reading section thing to do, which I hate. I really need to do those tonight, though. blah.

Sorry to hear about that kid that went to your school. It's a lot different to hear about someone you have no assosciation to, but when it's a near miss to home like that it kinda freaks you out a bit. That happened to me this year at school. Two kids were hit by a train - they both lived in my building and I met and hung out with one the thursday before. It's just strange. So I get how you're feeling.

He probably had an embolism which is something you have from birth. There's no preventing it or detecting it - and eventually it can just burst under the stress (and it is a clot of sorts or an obstruction in a blood vessel) - I'm assuming weight lifting or exercising caused that strain.

And great pictures. DDR is a lot of fun. I do play the online flash version more though just cause I'm lazy lol

Bowling is so underrated - it's so much fun. I've actually gone a few times with friends over the past month - it's becoming a recurring passtime with us.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Yeah, I was telling my mom about it, and she said that it was probably something that couldn't be detected or prevented. It's still just so bizarre, though. I mean, I know that when I drive places by myself, somewhere in the back of my mom's mind, she's worrying that I might get into a car crash. Or if I'm at a concert, she's worried I might break my neck. But I don't know how many parents worry when their child is exercising that a blood vessel will burst in the child's head. It's just so unexpected.

DDR is loads of fun. We played for like an hour at his house, then when we went bowling, there were these arcade machines when you first walk in, so we played there for about half an hour before actually going to bowl. And, of course, when we got back to his house, we played some more DDR. Heh. I'm really horrible at it, but I still have loads of fun doing it.

It is fun! Another thing I suck at, but it was awesome. After awhile (as seen in the pictures), people just started trying to bowl in any crazy way they could come up with, which was quite amusing.

Wow. I feel bad for that guy's family and friends. It must have been sudden and those types of deaths are devestating.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

I know, I feel awful for people who knew him. My friend's boyfriend was good friends with him and yesterday when I was at my friend's birthday party, she talked to him for at least an hour on the phone trying to comfort him. It's so sad, because it was so unexpected.

[violetmist2003.livejournal.com]

Dude, the poor guy. At least it wasn't suicide like last summer.

Hee, 510 is such love. Man, it's awesome. And yes, I loved how Brian pulled Justin into a hug both times, cause it was hot.

Teh pretteh pictures.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Yeah, I suppose so. God, does a person have to die from our school every summer?

It is, it so is. sigh. The instantaneous hugs were so... guh. And the "I love you"'s. And Justin's gasp at the first, like it knocked the wind out of him. And the kisses. And god, I love these episodes. I don't want the angst to come! >:O

Thank you!

[violetmist2003.livejournal.com]

It's depressing.

I know! Justin was like WHOA. And he said it twice! Aww.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

It is depressing. sigh.

I know. I loved his reaction to it. Like he couldn't believe it was happening. And he said it right into his ear and it was so, so perfect. sigh. And he said it again in 511! Well, essentially. He said, "To show the person I love how much I love him." So yeah. Once again! sigh. And then, "I took a chance on love." squee. Now that he's finally said it, he's unstoppable! I want him to say it a bunch more in 512 and 513. :D

[violetmist2003.livejournal.com]

Haha. He does, I think. Aww, you have to watch them so I can squee to you about them.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Heh, but I probably won't watch those for awhile. 512 I'm waiting till it actually airs, which means in about a week and a half, and then 513 the week after that. Ah, I can't wait. Except I totally can, because of the non-happily-ever-after ending, and the fact that after 513, there'll be no new QAF, which makes me sad.

[violetmist2003.livejournal.com]

I have no self-control and I'm proud :D. That, and the fact that I have no Showtime, so it matters little anyway.

It's happy in the way that Buffy ended happily. Which was rather unhappy, but that's okay.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Haha, nice. Well, I have Showtime, but I can't watch it as it airs. But I don't want to watch 512 and 513 all at once now, because... then the show would be officially over, and that would be sad.

Haha, nice. The thing I need to do is wait for an awesome post-S5 epic fic that gets them back together, then watch 513 and immediately read the fic afterwards. Unfortunately, I think that would delay the viewing of 513 for... a long time.

[violetmist2003.livejournal.com]

I watched 513 like last week :P.

The end isn't that sad, I think. There's still hope. It's actually pretty well-defined hope. But anyway.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Yeah, I heard that. But to me, anything that doesn't end with Brian and Justin married and happily riding into the sunset is a sad ending. But with the hope, it should make it totally simple to write a bunch of post-513 fics with them happily riding into the sunset. guh. I will need massive amounts of post-513 fics.

[violetmist2003.livejournal.com]

Sunset is good. Mushy and fluffy and oh-so-hot. But that would be too easy; CowLip have to toy with their viewers. Or else it isn't fun.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Yeah, I suppose it would be too kind to give the majority of the veiwers what they want. [sighs]

[violetmist2003.livejournal.com]

But of course. A happy ending is just horrible.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_____romantique/]

hey, you've been on my f-list for the longest time because of your icons.. but i don't think i've ever really commented to any of your real entries! lol. anyway.

OMGQAF *LOVES*!!!!!
i just saw 510 about an hour ago. i watch them through on demand because i never seem to be able to catch it when it's actually on.. but omg, omg, omg. great great great episode.

i agree with your mel/linds thing. at first i was like cool they need to get back together!! eeerrrghss!! then i just got bored with them.

the end. with the explosion. *le gasp* i was in tears. brian went to find justin and they were all huggy huggy i lurrrrve you omgomg. and i was like yey! then he went to find michael, and i was like *GASP, SHUDDER, NOOOOOOOO!!* -- saddest thing ever. i still haven't seen 511. if michael dies, i may die along with him.

he was right about how the comic book store thing.. that being an omen or whatev.. he was right.

*cries*

i love qaf.

haha, and sorry for the long comment. XD

< 3

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Hee, long comments are totally welcome. :D

Oh god, it definitely was a great episode. I love this episode so much, geez. Heh, as if you couldn't tell from my comments on it.

Yeah, at first I was kind of interested in them, but then it was just dragged on so long, and I knew that they would have to get together in the end anyways, so it ended up just being very boring.

I know, I was totally in tears too. Seeing the explosion made me shiver, and then when Brian arrived at Babylon and was calling for Justin and his voice was cracking - geez. That's when I started tearing up. I've seen 511, but I won't say anything about the fate of Michael. I will, however, say that 511 is just as awesome as 510, at least in my opinion.

Wow, I totally didn't even realize that, but you're right. geez. Freaky. Poor Michael.

QAF is totally awesome. :D Love it too (...heh, obviously).
